My Pumpkin,he's 12 weeks old today. Boy I sure hope he stays this sweet. Him becoming a rooster scares the heck out of me.
My buff brahma Bantam roo (also named Pumpkin) is very sweet, well he used to be, he would follow my dad around the yard when he was young and we took his girls for a while cuz he was lonely. Now he is two years old and we got eight more girls to add to his two, plus a rooster that's had his own two girls died so now Pumpkin has those girls too.
Recently my sister pecked the grass and acted like a rooster to Pumpkin and now he's been attacking us I think maybe it's because he has so many girls and hens to look after (they're in like three different flocks so he's everywhere, the flocks don't get along good but he's the rooster of all of them)
He is the rooster of 13 other hens/pullets.
I don't know why he attacks us but he does now, not that often, but he does. Mom says to beat the crap out of him when he does it so he won't do it again. I don't like to, but I get so mad.
